My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 313 Answer Her Questions

Lila’s POV

“Are you sure this cage is strong enough to keep her locked up?”.

“Jazzy said it was. We have to trust her. If we don’t, she will kill us like she did the others.”

“Yeah, but this Volana is supposed to be the strongest of them all. This cage doesn’t look all that

strong. What if she uses her wolf to break out and then SHE kills us.”

“Don’t let Jazzy hear you talk like that.”

The voices faded, so I knew they were getting further away. I lay flat down on cold concrete; my entire

body was numb. If I was in pain, I wouldn’t be able to feel it. I wasn’t sure what they had done to me or

where they had taken me, but I knew it was dark. Very dark.

Usually, I could see clearly in the dark, but I knew as soon as I came through that my abilities weren’t

working. I knew my wolf was still there, I could hear her shivering and panting in my mind. She didn’t

want to hide in the furthest corner of my mind and leave me alone, so she remained close to me. But I

also knew she was powerless. She was terrified, which terrified me because Val was rarely terrified.

She didn’t like this place; she got a bad sense from it. I just wished I could lift my head and try to figure

out where I was. But it was no use, I couldn’t move a single muscle.

I wasn’t even sure if I was breathing.

Was I even alive?

My memory was a little foggy, but I remembered the feeling after I was injected with wolfsbane. It was

like my entire insides were engulfed in flames. It was so painful; I couldn’t even scream. Then,

everything went black.

I don’t know who stabbed me with that injection, but I do remember seeing Rachel. I remember her

face. and the eyes that appeared so empty. She was consumed by darkness; she wasn’t herself. My

heart ached when I thought about it.

There was no concept of time here; I wasn’t sure how long I had been here for. How many hours; how

many days? But I’ve been slipping in and out of consciousness and when I come back through, there’s

always new voices. New people were watching me sleep; checking on me to make sure I didn’t move.

They were terrified I would break out of here and kill them all.

Maybe if I was strong enough, I’d break out of here and fight until I was free. But I wasn’t strong. I was

powerless. My wolf felt powerless.

I felt another wave of exhaustion taking over and I wasn’t going to be strong enough to fight it. I was

just so tired. I closed my eyes and slipped back into sweet darkness.

Enzo’s POV

The drive back to my packhouse was quiet besides the occasional s ob and sniffle from some of the

ladies. Ethan stayed behind with Alpha B astien and Jake.

Once I knew everybody in my territory was safe and we spoke to Xander, I was going to return and join

the search party. I wasn’t going to sleep until Lila was safe in my arms again. I still wasn’t sure what

Selene wanted to speak to him about; she wouldn’t elaborate.

“I can’t explain it, but I think Alpha Jonathan has something to do with this,” Max growled within me.

“B astien confirmed that Jonathan was downstairs the entire time,” I told my wolf.

“It still doesn’t feel right,” he murmured in

response.

I knew he was right; it didn’t feel right. It didn’t feel right at all. My stomach clenched at the thought of

Jonathan doing something to my mate. I shouldn’t have let her come here. I should have been here. I

should have been the one to protect her.

I failed my mate.

When we got back to my packhouse Dee was the first one to greet me. I shouldn’t have been surprised

that she already knew what had happened. Word travels around fast.

“You haven’t been able to find her?” Dee asked, her voice cracking as held back a cry.

“No, but we will. I have ga mmas on their way there as we speak,” I assured her.

She nodded slowly. She looked at Selene and her frown deepened.

“Oh, you poor dear,” Dee berated, wrapping Selene into her arms. Selene looked hesitant at first, but

then she embraced Dee back, melting into her. “I know in my heart that Lila will be okay, and we will get

her back safe and sound,” Dee breathed against Selene’s ear.

Selene closed her eyes, allowing a few stray tears to escape her eyes and she held Dee tighter.

“Thank you,” she breathed.

“I’ll make you something delicious for dinner tonight,” Dee said, releasing her hold on Selene’s body

before looking at everyone else.

“You all should come inside and yourselves up,” Dee ordered, motioning for them all to head inside.

“Come on.”

Nobody was going to argue with her. They all went inside, and Dee followed after them.

Selene looked at me and narrowed her eyes.

“Take me to him,” she demanded.

I didn’t want to také Selene to see this man; he was unstable, and he couldn’t be trusted. Ba stien

would kill me if he found out I let his Luna down in the dungeon to see this crazed maniac. But I also

knew that Selene wasn’t the type to back down.

She always got what she wanted.

She folded her arms across her chest and raised her brows, so I sighed and motioned for her to follow

me.

We went down the stairs and I stopped in front of the guard that I appointed to keep watch over this

area.

“Alpha,” he greeted, looking surprised. “I didn’t know you’d be back so soon.”

His eyes went straight to Selene, and they widened in shock.

“Luna Selene!” He bowed his head in respect to her.

“The Luna would like to speak with Xander,” I explained. “Make sure no one interrupts us.”

“Yes, sir,” he said, still keeping his head bowed.

For goddess’s sake, it’s not like Selene was royalty. She’s not even his Luna. But her daughter will be

once we get her back from whomever took her.

If darkness was involved, that meant Jazzy probably had something to do with this.

We walked through the dungeon grounds until we reached the one that Xander was kept in.

Selene’stayed closely behind me, saying nothing until we reached the cell. Then, she stepped around

me to peer at him.

Per the orders of Lila, we had stopped torturing him. She had it in her head that he was trying to

prepare her for something and that he couldn’t tell us what it was for some unknown reason. She didn’t

find that torturing him was necessary.
